IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0Clean Energy Group, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization whose tax-exempt status was recognized by the Internal Revenue Service in 2003. In addition, since its inception, the Organization has continued to be classified as a publicly supported organization (a "public charity") as described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and 509(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code despite the fact that its level of support has recently fallen short of the one-third level of support normally required for such classification. The Organization believes itself to continue to qualify as a publicly supported organization however, by virtue of the "facts and circumstances" test outlined in Regs. Sec. 1.170A-9(f)(3) in view of its continuing development efforts which are designed to attract more broad-based support for the Organization and to broaden its community outreach. These efforts are bearing fruit with the Organization's public support percentage increasing nearly three percentage points from the previous year. In addition, the Organization's governing Board is comprised of a diverse group of individuals drawn from the public at large, with each member offering a unique set of skills and capabilities to the Organization. Finally, the Organization's mission is dedicated to providing advocacy on innovative policy, technology, and financing strategies in the areas of clean energy and climate change that will benefit all sectors of society for a just transition, with a particular focus on disadvantaged and under-resourced communities.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1Clean Energy Groups' projects are designed to develop clean energy strategies that could save lives, protect livelihoods, and increase the physical, financial, and health security of millions of people, especially disadvantaged and under-resourced communities.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt2In the past few years our programs have: * Helped advance more than 220 resilient power projects across the country, with active project efforts in 23 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico - efforts representing 94 low-income housing properties and more than 142 critical community projects. * Supported the development and completion of some of the first resilient solar+storage projects benefiting low-income and disadvantaged communities in California, Colorado, DC, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont. * Supported more than 40 communities to take steps to develop solar+storage projects in disadvantaged communities for the first time, including such diverse locations as Austin, TX; Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Boulder, CO; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; Miami, FL; Portland, OR; New York City, NY; Washington, DC; and Puerto Rico. * Helped develop a first-ever Program Related Investment (PRI) loan guarantee program for solar+storage financing in low-income communities. * Expanded our projects to encompass energy security for households dependent on electricity for home health needs and replacement of polluting power plants affecting the health of surrounding disadvantaged communities.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt3In the past five years our fundraising efforts have been successful and produced significant multi-year grants from a few Foundations which has provided background support to local groups we work with. While this has helped stabilize the financial security of the organization for the near term and development of new project areas, we are able and committed to focusing on broadening our funder base to include numerous, smaller local and regional funders to help support our various project efforts. Our goal is to secure 4 to 8 new funding sources over the next 24 months. As a result, these efforts shuld diversify our funder base and broaden our public support in the near future.
